For my PhD, I am designing an online social network, VivoSpace, to promote positive health behaviour change. The key contributions for my research include:
1. A conceptual framework, ABC (Appeal, Belonging, Commitment) Framework, that articulates the motivation for making positive health behaviour change through an online social network
2. Development of design principles for an online social network to motivate health behaviour change.
3. Understanding of personal health information needs and their connection to overall personal information needs
4. A working and evaluated system, VivoSpace, with an understanding of its ability to motivate healthy behaviour
In addition to my doctoral studies, I am also a Quality Leader, for the BC Patient Safety and Quality Council.
